Nine letters that the former president wrote to McNear, his college girlfriend, are now part of the collection of Emory University's Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives and Rare Book Library in Atlanta, Georgia, available to researchers. They were written after Obama had transferred from Occidental College in California to Columbia University in New York City.

Hmmm, what does the former president think about these letters going public?
McNear, a fellow student from Occidental, grew closer to Obama when she spent the summer of 1982 in New York. The letters begin when McNear returned to school on the opposite side of the country.

The letters reveal a few things about Obama: He had beautiful penmanship, and he was eloquent and charismatic even then.

To put it more bluntly, he was one smooth customer
